Trip bits
I would like to clarify one thing, and I think many other carnivores will agree with me.
People who call themselves vegetarians, by virtue of their classification, should eat vegetables. Vegetables are not Krispy Kreme donuts, they are not Gogurts, they are not pot brownies. I have so many vegetarian friends whom I cannot recall ever eating a healthy salad, steamed vegetables, or a carrot. French fries are not vegetables in my opinion, nor is a Subway loaf filled with lettuce.
I believe we should have a new lazy class of either pastarians or grainarians. Roadtrip Simon goes under this classification, as he COULD eat something healthy, but a giant plate of fried potatoes works better. However, when it comes down to a cannibalistic frenzy while trapped in an elevator, I'll eat Simon before a normal vegetarian. I just like the taste of grain-fed beef over ranch beef. Too stringy.
We will both die of the same heart attack, but I got to eat steak.

I've been a vegetarian for 21 years- I guess I'm more of a carbo-tarian, I really don't care for salads or steamed veggies.

Has Incubus' friend the vegetarian ramen-eater every scrutinized the ingredients list on the package of noodles?
Ramen noodles taste so good because they are fried in lard!
Or does he have a veggie source?

I ain't vegetarian, but my favorite vegatable is pickles!

you offered some great suggestions, my sister calls me a breadhead and it's still one of my favorites

I've long described myself as a starchitarian. That's been my mantra for eating healthier, actually: eat like a real vegetarian!
On the other hand, if this means I'm down to #2 in line to be eaten in the Andes, pass the potato chips.

LOL no idea as to whether or not he's read the ingredients. Actually pretty much no idea as to whether or not he reads, but I'd bet he hasn't.

Seriously!
I had a really close vegetarian friend who pretty much lived off of egg-salad sandwiches and french-fries.
But what really sucks is that I have to say "HAD a close friend" because he had a heart attack at an absurdly young age.
Sorry, didn't mean to be so morbid there.

Just be careful around humanitarians!

Mmmmm, humanitarians. I guess I'll be in that line if I ever attend the Donner party.

LOL! I phoned my niece and called her a "pastarian". Even though she hates having her eating habits spotlighted, she actually giggled.
